Army will use ?absolute force? to end terrorism in Sinai: Sisi
CAIRO: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi says the Army will employ ?absolute force? in a bid to eliminate terrorism in the Sinai Peninsula.
?We have to put an end to terrorism in Sinai. Sinai is our land, and the Armed Forces will employ absolute force to put an end to violence there. We would rather die than have anyone [harm] our land,? said the Egyptian president at a ceremony to inaugurate a number of development projects in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia on Saturday. Sisi also stressed that the Egyptian people should not fear any external threat as long as they were united enough to challenge the whole world, saying, ?We are neither wicked conspirators nor are we after anyone?s money or land. We only seek God?s generosity to continue building and developing.?The Sinai Peninsula has been under a state of emergency since October 2014, after a deadly terrorist attack left 33 Egyptian soldiers dead. Over the past few years, terrorists have been carrying out anti-government activities and fatal attacks, taking advantage of the turmoil in Egypt that erupted after the country?s first democratically-elected president, Mohamed Mursi, was ousted in a military coup in July 2013. The Velayat Sinai group, which is affiliated with the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, has claimed responsibility for most of the assaults.The group later expanded its attacks to target members of Egypt?s Coptic Christian community as well as foreigners visiting the country, prompting Cairo to widen a controversial crackdown, which critics say has mostly targeted dissidents. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Army will use ?absolute force? to end terrorism in Sinai: Sisi || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
